Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Celso Borges has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ko Itakura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 51' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
